Question

My mother suffers or used to suffer from overjet with a gap she fixed her problem by getting dentures however I do not want dentures I want to fix my teeth and not take the easy way out

Oleg Drut, DDS · Answer

Just looking at your photos, you have a cosmetic problem with spaces between the teeth. Your overbite and overjet appear to be normal. The proper treatment is braces or invisalign. If you cant afford that, do nothing, you can live like that. I would not recommend any laminates or crowns, since this will damage your teeth in the long run

Lawrence Singer, DMD (in memoriam) · Answer

Stick with your resolve and don't get dentures!Your problem is very complex - your top teeth stick out because your upper jaw is relatively smaller and the lower teeth and possibly the tongue are pushing things out.  You should be evaluated for sleep disordered breathing risk.  You solution may involve surgery to advance the upper jaw as well as braces
